Am I right in interpreting this as an enquiry as to wether you can effectively compete with car repair rates in LOS as a means of earning a crust............in which case dream on

 

Or perhaps I am wrong and its just a where to take it enquiry.....Main dealers are cheap as chips, lesser places cheaper still. I get a chuckle thinking how much the bill would have been back in rip off Britain everytime I come away from the Isuzu dealers (I actually have the invoice for 9 baht for the last service!!!!).

if you want to make money doing that sort of thing forget it-

I can get on oil/filter change done here for 750 baht on my pickup.Includes labour/filter and oil.

Give me a better price and you may be busy but working for 1000 baht a day if youre good!

i had a bump in a rental car about 12 months ago , pulled the bumper off, dented the wing.

i went to a little thai garage near where suchamvit turns off for rayong or goes straight to siricha

cost me 150 baht to get the bumper back on and they pushed the wing out for 50baht !

they told me about 3000 baht to blow the wing over.. dead cheap

A friend of mine has an old Jeep with a Mitsubishi turbo diesel engine. He ran it hot and blew a head gasket. He took it to a local up country shop to have it repaired. The head was warped so they had to have it machined to flatten it back out. To make a long story short, the labor was less than a thousand baht for the two day job.

 

I had a piece of shit 2002 Toyota 4X4 that sprung a leak in the radiator. They pulled the radiator out, repaired it and put it back in for a total of three hundred baht.

 

Bottom line? It would be tough to make a living repairing cars and trucks in Thailand.
